'Losers excuses' 'One lucky season' 'everyone laughing at them' Connor Goldson's rewrite is utterly trashed

Without doubt Connor Goldson and his ‘revelations’ to the Daily Record ticked off all the boxes.

The former Shrewsbury ace has opened up on the heartache of his departure from Ibrox, midway through a four year contract, while wallowing in sympathy over the one freakish season that he enjoyed as if it was the norm.

Goldson moved from Brighton in the summer of 2018 to join the Gerrard Revolution, when he quit in the summer he left with a record of three winners medals and 15 failures.

Across the city Callum McGregor has 13 winners medals from the same period.

To comfort their demanding Army of readers the Record decided to centre their exclusive interview on the 20/21 season, the season behind closed doors when Celtic lost the title by 25 points to a club that lost £22m from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 despite grasping at a £3.4m interest free loan from the SNP Government.

Any remotely rational assessment would conclude that season 20/21 was the outlier, in the two seasons prior Celtic won six out of six domestic trophies. Since football fans were allowed back into stadiums the hoops have won seven of the nine trophies despite a change in manager.

In any other country it is unprecedented domination but rather than discuss the one sided two horse race the Record went to town as they revelled in the magic of the 20/21 SPFL Premiership title race.

From top to bottom, from Peter Lawwell to Boli Bolingoli, from Dermot Desmond to Dubai and onto Leigh Griffiths, Albian Ajeti and Vasilas Barkas every decision that Celtic made that season was disastrous. And who could forget Ferencvaros?

That Champions League exit ought to have set the alarm bells ringing but displaying his usual arrogance the club CEO just assumed that everything would resolve itself. It didn’t.

To placate angry supporters the club announced in December that they would carry out a managerial review, Lawwell approved the ’training trip’ to Dubai as Lockdown restrictions were stepped up for the suffering Season Ticket holders.

Finally Lennon resigned, after losing out to Ross County for the second time within four months, after that it took the club 104 days to announce a successor despite the dossier provided by the managerial review.

Goldson and the Record believe that that campaign was the norm!

Fortunately Ange Postecoglou was appointed, a man with a plan to deliver results with trophies to show for his efforts.

As soon as the summer transfer window closed he put in place his January plans, three signings were announced on December 31.

Goldson and his traumatised pals were joined by Amad Diallo and Aaron Ramsey, Kris Boyd couldn’t contain his excitement at the news.

Postecoglou pushed on with his vision. A Bobby Madden masterclass denied him a treble in his first season, he overcame that second time around with a treble with Goldson, James Tavernier, Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos and the other heroes ‘of the 55’ having their reputations trashed.

The record has a rich stream of content to reel in as they wallow on the lost opportunity of the 20/21 season, elsewhere football moves on with Celtic on course to match the 55 titles won by both Ibrox clubs and to make the claim of The World’s Most Successful club look truly ridiculous.

So you won 1 title & lost your hunger but our squad who had won every trophy for 4 years didn’t do that when they lost interest in empty stadiums playing the same shite teams
We won 77 points that season we’ve done over 90 every season since
Losers excuses after 1 lucky season

Unbelievable piece of journalism from typical rangers supporting hack. Rangers had there foot on the throat of Celtic and were by a mile best team in Scotland
Everyone knows they won league due to covid and empty stadiums as rangers crumble in front of packed stadium
